HC Deb 02 November 1970 vol 805 c290W
Mr. Skeffington

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the policy of the Government with regard to the Report, "People and Planning".

Mr. Graham Page

My right hon. Friend in general welcomes the Report as a valuable contribution on the subject of publicity and public participation in development plans; and is glad of this opportunity to pay tribute to the hon. Member's work as chairman of the Committee which produced the Report. I shall shortly be consulting the local authority associations and other bodies on a circular covering the Report and its recommendations.
